New Gods of North America

After meeting up with Doug and Conner, Wayne chose to send the prisoners to turn in his assignment first. Several carriages headed straight for the cathedral, wanting to finish the job and relax as soon as possible.

As soon as Wayne got out of the car, holding a javelin in his hand, in front of the square next to the cathedral, he saw a bunch of familiar faces, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat:

"What happened?"

The agents who were originally arranged to stay at the temporary base seemed to have all appeared here at this moment.

Although the overall condition looked okay, this situation was abnormal.

Lane quickly greeted him and explained, "Sir, the temporary base was attacked last night. A group of people simultaneously threw Molotov cocktails, and there were also extraordinary individuals with flame abilities who appeared, trying to destroy the evidence. Fortunately, we had thought of a contingency plan in advance, and the key evidence had been transferred to the carriages in time. We had a few minor injuries, no fatalities, but some evidence was still destroyed by fire."

"Did you catch anyone?" Wayne asked.

"We held back two. They and the other prisoners are all in the carriages now. The main thing is that those people were mixed in with a passing parade. The scene was chaotic at the time, with dense crowds, and the other party quickly evacuated separately after setting the fire. Although we had already raised our vigilance in advance, we still prioritized protecting the evidence and didn't chase too far."

Lane continued to add, "When the parade passed by, the church secretly took precautions and reinforcements arrived in time. A team of militiamen also arrived in time, helping us reduce a lot of pressure. The attackers' intention to resist was not too great, it seemed that their priority task was to destroy the evidence and evacuate safely. However, Mr. Morrie has already evacuated under the **** of several bodyguards, his whereabouts are unknown—he originally wanted to take Willie and them away, worried that it would be difficult to explain to Miss Lina afterwards."

Wayne nodded repeatedly, keeping his steps, "It's good that the people and key evidence are okay. We have already caught the escaped small boss. Except for the internal archives, the other things can be prepared for handover after being recorded. Lina shouldn't come in, ask her if there is anything urgent first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Yes!"

… …

"Gurgle, gurgle—"

The first thing to do when rushing into the cathedral is to find the toilet!

After explaining in advance, an old monk checked the javelin and asked about Wayne's condition. Then he asked someone to provide a bucket of holy water for flushing the toilet, and reminded Wayne to drink more holy water recently. If other abnormalities occur in the body, he should seek timely inspection and treatment.

Fortunately, accompanied by a burst of rushing water, the pain in the abdomen gradually disappeared. Although he felt a little weak in his steps, it felt like a normal phenomenon.

Wayne also suddenly asked the old monk, wondering if "golden juice" could be used for poisoning, shouldn't this kind of "extraordinary golden juice" be more effective?

The old monk looked embarrassed and said, "If it is determined that it will not cause pollution after inspection, then it may be feasible... It is not against the rules, but it is not recommended..."

Don't give me that expression, I'm just asking casually...

After coming out of the toilet, Tom Hagen and Inesa were already waiting in the next room. Inesa silently pulled out a few flowers from the vase next to her, took out the bouquet stick that Teryl the priest had given her before, and swept it over him a few times.

Wayne was about to say something, but soon changed his mind, "Give me five more minutes..."

After coming out again, this time it was Tom Hagen's turn to look embarrassed: "Did you come to the cathedral specifically to clog the toilet? And the clothes on your body should also be changed. A large area of blood has stained them, which will infect the wound."

Wayne's steps were light at this moment, and he casually perfunctory, "I'll change when I get back. Don't worry, it's already bandaged inside." Leather bandage, trustworthy.

Mr. Walter's demeanor remained undiminished: "Perhaps there is a problem with someone in the post road system, but according to the convention, they should conduct an internal investigation. It is against the rules to detain them without authorization like you do."

Old Mr. Bask's attitude was gentle, "I was only entrusted by an old friend to come as a lobbyist, and I cannot make decisions for them. However, I have asked a lawyer, and according to state law, militia organizations have an obligation to assist in quelling riots—including out-of-control demonstrations. Since that is their personal behavior, it has nothing to do with their identity, unless someone comes forward to declare that it was a secret operation arranged by which organization."

Priest Teryl still looked like a nice old man: "Wayne is here now, why don't we listen to the person involved? After all, it is their detective agency that actually suffered the loss last night. Wayne, the evidence you have collected during this period should not have been damaged, right?"

Wayne looked like his wound was still hurting, and frowned after sitting next to him, "Some of the evidence was still burned, but fortunately, the key evidence was preserved, and the impact was not significant. And we have successfully arrested that York Castallow, he is now in the cathedral."

"Huh?!" × 3

The expressions of several bosses were different. The happiest one seemed to be Old Mr. Bask, and he could hardly suppress the corners of his mouth, "It seems that the assassination case can finally be closed. But there may be deeper secrets behind this, Walter, you are the most professional in this regard, what do you think?"

Mr. Walter's expression was still kind, as if he really thought about it seriously:

"The incident happened around the cathedral, and the meaning of targeting is obvious. The case also involves foreigners. I suspect that this may be related to the Holy See, or to the warring countries of the Old Continent. I have read the secret file of that York Castallow. Although the characteristics are no longer obvious, it can still be seen that he is a descendant of the aborigines. He may have been instigated and is suspected of treason. The testimony is no longer credible."

Although the vast majority of aborigines do not even have the status of American citizens, they can still be convicted of treason.

This may sound a bit absurd, but just the fact that "being able to go to court" is not an opportunity that every aboriginal criminal has the opportunity to enjoy. Generally, the problem will be solved in corners where people cannot see.

Having a crime name on the tombstone is, in a sense, "opening a new page in the family tree."

The other bosses present did not respond, and Mr. Walter did not take it seriously.

He glanced at Wayne and continued, "If those are really involved, then the matter should not be handled by any detective agency. According to jurisdiction, I may consider letting the post road system apply to take over the investigation."

Old Mr. Bask nodded, seemingly in agreement: "That's true according to the regulations. However, the application may not be approved, and the process will take time. And now there is a problem with people within the post road system. Before completing the screening, handing over the investigation of the case to them again, perhaps many people will object to this."

"These little detectives have performed quite well. If they continue to investigate, it would be irresponsible for their safety." Mr. Walter's face was expressionless.

"There is no need to worry about this."

Priest Teryl didn't know if he was really bad or pretending, he raised his hand and gestured to Inesa next to Wayne, "This Miss Inesa is a former Hunter Association member from Windsor. Her ability is excellent, and it has also been verified in our Exorcist Association. Perhaps it was her role that played in the arrest of the escaped criminal this time."

Hey, hey, hey, you big guys really can't see such a large area of blood on my body?

In the end, Tom Hagen came out to interrupt the discussion, "Now that the murderer who directly instigated the criminal has been caught, and Wayne is injured, the investigation may be suspended for a few days. We may have to wait until Bishop Corleone returns before our cathedral can officially give its opinion. Why don't we just maintain the status quo for the time being? It is best not to have any more accidents recently."

Several bosses can be regarded as making promises, and then they said goodbye one after another.

After people left, Wayne just asked if he could hand in the job and return to Georgeburg, Tom Hagen gave Wayne a rare look with the eyes of looking at David Mills.

"Before the formal ceasefire, it is often the time when the firefight is the fiercest. Let's go, let's go see Bishop Corleone."

Huh?!

Bishop Corleone is back? Judging from the time, the express train of this year is not that fast, right?
